after looking at groundchuck's avatar it made me think
how many of you teach the defense to find the qb and truck him on any interception?

Naaa, we don't waste our time seeking out QB's but rather the closest guys around the interception. Try to make a little mini running wedge for our ball carrier. If the qb is trying to make the tackle, then he's a target just like the other 10 guys but nothing special! Also, since we can't block below the waist in the open field, these blocks would be more pushing guys down than vicious hits.

We designate a DL to check out the QB and hit him as soon as he moves into pursuit.

we make sure to account for the intended receiver, with the closest db to the ball and we make sure to blokc the qb...as these 2 players make most of the tackles on interceptions...we also view it as another chance for us to hit the qb!! now if the qb is not involved, we won't waste anyone on him, but it has been our experience that the qb's want to atone for their mistake...so they try to make the tackle.

No dont teach that. We teach to get to the closest sideline after an INT. Now we do teach to lay people out and blindside them. I dont want players passing by defenders who can tackle the ball carrier b/c they are going for the QB which is further away. Now if they lay the QB out and knock him out of the game thats okay, too. I do like to teach a couple of kids to peal back and look for some blindsides instead of everybody trying to lead the way. Those are usually your headhunters, oh Im not supposed to say that. LOL

One of the few real nasty kids I had would find the guy who did not seem to know what had just happened and kill him. As far as actively seeking out the QB above anyone else no we just try and get a hat on whoever we can.
